Composed of 42% Garnacha, 38% Syrah and 20% Garrut (an indigenous varietal), this wine was fermented and aged six months in French oak.

Ilauri Bajo Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Denominazione de Origine Controllata (Abruzzo, Italy)
Our estate grapes produce this fine example of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo every vintage. The name Bajo (Bay) given to our town’s most important street comes from the hair color of some horses. Bay is one of the most common coat colors in many horse breeds. Select vineyards with stony and calcareous soil are carefully managed to produce this classic wine. Following its temperature controlled vinification in stainless steel, the wine is aged for six months in large Slovenian oak barrels and ends its cycle with a short bottle rest. This vibrant red from Abruzzo displays a violet color and an intense bouquet of ripe red fruit, finely framed with spices. Ideal with barbecued meats and traditional Italian specialties such as lasagna

We first made Pinot Gris in 1996. Our version of this variety is crisp with bright fruit and a kiss of minerality. J Pinot Gris combines the best of both New World and Old World styles. We draw fruit from a combination of warm and cool climates for a blend of citrus and tropical notes with a notable fleshiness and firm acidic backbone.

Maison Roche De Bellene Coteaux Bourguignons Cuvee Terroir (Burgundy, France)
Made to be drunk in its youth, this wine from Nicolas Potel is produced from a blend of Gamay and Pinot Noir. The crunchy red fruit and floral notes of the Gamay complement the richer, structured Pinot Noir – it’s like cross breeding a Fleurie and Savigny-les-Beaune.
